Game Developers Aim to Stop Internet Vitriol - Gamers Source

Hello and welcome to the Gamers Source, your destination for gaming conversation. Sony announces a bevy of titles for PS4 and PS Vita over the weekend and thousands of developers come together to stop hatred online. So, without further ado, the news:

Developers Fight Back Against Online Harassment: Over the weekend, thousands of developers have come together to fight against internet harassment. Started by Space of Play developer Andreas Zecher, the online petition is gathering signatures to help keep the peace online where harassment of developers is becoming more and more apparent. "We believe that everyone, no matter what gender, sexual orientation,
ethnicity, or religion has the right to play games, criticize games and
make games without getting harassed or threatened," reads the petition.

You can see the petition for yourself here, which I strongly suggest. We are such a strong community, and this hatred is starting to escalate too far. Nipping it in the bud by standing together for positive interactions and conversations is the only way to keep these conversations going, so sign up!

A Blur of Announcements for Sony Platforms: This weekend brought the beginning of September, and with Tokyo Game Show down the road, Sony revealed a slew of games during it's Pre-Tokyo Game Show. Being the Pre-Tokyo Game Show, all of these games are from Japanese developers and though are only confirmed for Japan, most will likely see release outside the archipelago.

And that is all for the day! Don't forget to share this page with your friends and family who enjoy gaming. What do you think about all of these Sony titles?
